Favorite Criminal organization in Manga.

[Pantera]

For me Genie Ryodan wins this easily cause:
- All there memebers are cool with no exception.
- All the memebers care about each other and there relation aren't just missions.
- They have the greatest and smartest leader in the existence who always puts his life on the line first.
- They are a complete organisation that have a set abilities of everything.
- They aren't pure evil, on the contrary they are standing up to the system and there piont of view can be greatly understood.
-Its members aren't idiots who understand nothing but fighting, but they are very smart, and as we saw a really soft side in the ones that we got know closley ( ubogin, Pakunoda, Nobunaga), and we saw that even in memebers that we didn't know good enough yet ( Sharlank, Kuroro, Shizune).



Akatsuki finishes second only for one reason which is Deidara.

[troublesum-chan]

i was about to say them, too.

togashi ftw <3 he's such a fucking genius with characters and unique, elaborate abilities.

[Gene]

lol genie ryodan

Anyways Genei Ryodan for me as well.

[Elijah Snow]

Genei Ryodan

But special shoutout to Gun-Ho Guns.

[Scorpio3.14]

Genei Ryodan FTW! They are just to badass to not get my vote.

Second and honorable mention goes to the Uruha from Flame of Recca. Mori Kouran is one of the most evil villians I have yet to see in a Shounen (or even most Seinens for that matter) and Kurei was just a badass. Then Joker and Raiha just make it even better :P

[Wesley]

I voted Gung-ho guns. Group of talented people raised on a miserable, miserable, world, all brought together to make Vash's life as unbearable as possible, as each of them confronted him one at a time aiming to kill him or kill themsevles if they fail. Just so that Vash would feel the guilt from their deaths.

Varied methods, varied backgrounds, varied appearances.

[SigbinPuti™]

ryodan hands down

my second would prob be
band of hawks(monster version)

[Pantera]

If deidara didn't exist gun-ho-gun would be my second choice............

What is really great about them is there loyalty to their goal ( which is destroying vash's human side) .........i mean just see how their leader ( Legato) sacrifised his life in the end.......his courage in his last moment and his face smiling in the moment vash shoots is something that i never saw in anyone else cause he didn't lose a fight and accepted his death bravely....he walked up to vash and didn't even put a fight, he just kept on asking him to shoot.

Ubogin's death is also very very brave....espicially in the last moment:
Kurapica : " I have pierced your heart with my chain......this is your last chance........tell me everything about your organization and u might live".
Ubogin ( smiling): "He He.....you can go to hell....idiot."

[Dio Brando]

CP9 Aren't techincally criminals. But whatever.

Genei Ryodan are awesome.

[Pantera]

Man i didn't know the Genei Ryodan were this popular................spread the spider love.

As for what Impolsion said about CP9 not being criminals........well techniqely niether are the Espada......perhaps a better rephrazing for my question would be whats your favorite antagonist organization.

[Moridin]

from that list the Genei Ryodan get it easily, with the Gung ho guns being second.

[Graham Aker]

Genei Ryodan, imo the best villain group in manga.

[Sasuke_fanboy]

I voted genie ryodan too, Greatest organisation ever, thou I think baraque works would've been a better organisation for One Piece. Crocodile > Lucci and spandam (as far as evilness and leadership go. he also had better screen presence).

[Itachi133ui]

I vote for Akatsuki and Genie Ryodan.

[Dio Brando]

I voted genie ryodan too, Greatest organisation ever, thou I think baraque works would've been a better organisation for One Piece. Crocodile > Lucci and spandam (as far as evilness and leadership go. he also had better screen presence).

This I disagree with. That would go to Athena's 88 Saints.

[Agmaster]

Pretty much par for the coursing it. Since I could watch Genei Ryodan sit around and talk to each other, hanging out all day I vote for them. Gung Ho Guns are badass, based just on Legato (as in, before even looking at anyone else), unfortunately Akatsuki and CP9 and the Espada (wow all three series had evil teams) are jokes as organizations since they are stuck in one of the shounen trinity and therefore retarded in how they act.

Oh sure Lucci, Kaku, Kalifa, and Spandam were cool, but besides that, CP9 was underwhelming. The Espada are too 'mysterious' *Kubo's trying too hard* to be enjoyable and Akatsuki...well....yeah...

[Captain Pimp]

from that list the Genei Ryodan get it easily, with the Gung ho guns being second.

What Mori said :iria Their killing methods are so brutal :lmao

[Kameil]

Genei Ryodan....

[Birkin]

GENEI RYODAN CURBSTOMPS

[RamzaBeoulve]

should have added Black Organization from Detective Conan...

but i would have still chosen Genei Ryodan first with Black Organization in second

[Taleran]

Ryodan
Big Fire
Riders of Havoc
The Friend Party
Assassination Group (JJBA Part 5)
Jyūshinshu
Juppongatana
The New Band of the Hawk


Ryodan, slightly edges out the rest

[Elijah Snow]

New Band of the Hawk counts too right? Cause I forgot to add them in this.

[~Avant~]

Genei Ryodan without a doubt. An honorable mention would the The Varia, from Katekyo Hitman Reborn. They really grew on me. And their's just something about Xanxus that reminds me of Kuroro Lucifer.

[BlackShinobi]

Genei Ryodan then Akatsuki
Jupongatana (Samurai X)

[Uruhara_the_great]

1) Genei ryodan
2) Genei ryodan
3) Genei ryodan
4) Genei ryodan
5) Genei ryodan
6) Genei ryodan

9999999999999999999998) Genei ryodan
9999999999999999999999) Espada/Akatsuki/Gun-ho-Gun

[Danchou]

The Genei Ryodan are easily the best criminal organization I've seen in any manga thus far. It's no surprise they're this popular.

[HXHFMP]

Genei Ryodan are uncomparable.

[Kickmeister]

Yeah, the Genei Ryodan are frickin' badass!

[deathgod]

wow so many genei ryodan ass kissers....J/K J/K:P I like those guys too:)

I don't know who my fav. are. There's just too many

I really liked the jupangata from Kenshin and that group from Shin Angyo Onishii. There are others but I'm not sure whether they would be considered a group.

On a side note Aji Tae has to be the most evil character in a manga that I've read lately. Love to hate the guy.

[Jicksy]

definitely genei ryodan

[KLoWn]

Akatsuki
Genei Ryodan
Espada
and it goes on...

[HyperKnuckles22]

cp9 for me, it was odd that they were modeled off of animals.

[Black Swan]

Genei Ryodan hands down, their evil and good at the same time, they can survive w/o their leader, their characters are very cool. And they don't have a pinky and the brain complex.

[masterriku]

I would prefer the whole world government over just cp9.

[Blind Itachi]

Akatsuki cause the other two i know from that poll are the CP9 and the Espada... but the Espada doesn't have awesome outfits... (except for a certain someone shoes) and the Cp9 is... lol...

[Roy Mustang]

homonculi - FMA

[TargaryenX]

I would say the Clan of Noah from D. gray man or the Juppongatana, butI haven't read hunterxhunter >_>

[Chi]

I think there should be Shchibukai from OP. And they are actually pretty cool and strong.
Personaly only like about only 4 members from Ryodan. Other seem kinda dull and unmatching..
Akatsuki were kinda cool with cool introductions.
And Juppongatana should be on the list too..

[Timur Lane]

The Pillar Men dammit!!! :mad

Those silly poses diden't detract from them being great villains, it just made them more awesome.:laugh

Edit: Hmm, coulden't exactly call them a group of criminals, but i will list them anyway.
They are still an antagonistic group so i guess they count.......

[Taleran]

yeah alot of the groups in this thread are just villains and not criminals

[Yoburi]

Oh man Akatsuki is just fail i mean when someone like Sakura or Shikamaru can fight them that means there is someting wrong in this org.

AND why the fuck Sasori and Kakuzu die like trash they desarve better.

[omaruchiha36]

akatsuki hands down

[Kira U. Masaki]

genei ryodan (with hisoka counted)
- id also put lucifer on a list of best leaders/villians
akatsuki
- sasori, pein, madara, itachi, kisame - these guys make this group badass
